Music

[chrissofevinhur]

I love lots of different kinds of music.... classical, opera, oldies, 80's rock, fun disco songs, rock, country, etc..... I'm just not really into rap (well, some Christian rap I like, but not too much). For me, it really depends on the content in the lyrics and all. My FAVORITE kinds of music would have to be Contemporary Christian/Christian rock. My favorite bands/singers are THIRD DAY, Todd Agnew, David Crowder Band, MercyMe, Rebecca St. James.... just to name a few.

If you want to hear some Christian music online, there's ChristianRock.net . Oh, and if you like "Christian Country"/Gospel, check out my good friend Corey at www.coreybrooksministries.com . He just released his third cd, it's great! I'm supposed to be going along to one of his concerts while I'm in West Virginia for Thanksgiving, and when I start school at Appalachian Bible College in January, I'm going to be a part of the ministry team that goes along on tour with him. Yay!

Hmmm... I like Bach, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, . But really, my favourite performers are Horowitz and Oistrakh. I don't suppose all of you care about that sort of thing ;D.

It's all about Bach, my friend. Though, Beethoven and Mozart are good too. Anything later than that though, and I don't like it as much.

Oh, and the Beatles.

"I am the Walrus, cu-cu-ca-choo!"

[ashbash]

GOTTA LOVE THE BEATLES
and anything around that era
and jazz (NOT BLUES as much)
and old school funk JAMES BROWN

[falklands]

I have to admit the Beatles are quite good.

[bimbettes]

i dont really no the beatles music that much tis a bit weird i guess

[falklands]

Interesting...the Rolling Stones played at a concert near where I live the other night. It apparently was a smashin' good concert, although I'd never go there for anything. But Mick Jagger, the lead singer, is 63 and could still go on touring for 10 more years. Amazing what healthy eating and excercise of your vocal chords can do...

Go to tvulive.com/radiou/ to listen to some sweet Christian rock and rap live over the internet. They also have some funny political sayings.

[falklands]

I still prefer classical ;D

I just listened to Demon Hunter recently, they are very, very good. The following is the lyrics of The Soldiers Song, but to get the total feeling of Demon Hunter you have to listen to them.

Through the clouds of fallen ash,
a lonely mother's cry
Among the fields of broken glass
the loyal few will rise
Faith now regained
Finding strenght within the void,
of raging fire ignites
A spark of ever-burning power
and conviction to fight
Pride be your name
They will spit upon the honor that
you guard with your life
And run to hide in selfish fear
when threat of death is in sight
Lay down your shame

(Pre-chorus:)
Armed with resistance and blind to the cost
They say your purpose is mindless and lost
But we don't adhere to the slader they spill
We mourn with your losses and stand by your will

(Chorus:)
These tears we spill
They haunt us still
The cries of the weak lie quiet in sleep
Beneath our feet

We are the sons of holy wrath,
a shining light in the dark
The ones who walk amongst despair,
no sign of fear in our hearts
Stand in death's way
Shut out the voice of mindlessness,
open your eyes to the truth
Believe the words that stand the test
and not the slurs of the youth
You're not what they say

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Turn over the tables and watch them run
You'll be the weapon they can't outgun

(Chorus)

Demon Hunter....I actually heard part of a CD of theirs. It's a little bit too....well....hard rock-ish for me, personally, but was kinda different for a change.

[Triphus (Titanian)]

I've been listening to Hawk Nelson recently and I really like em.......although it might be because there top song right now "California" is my birth state.....

[GDL]

I love this song:

Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Chorus:
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
this life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives

ye-e-eah
The very same God
that spins things in orbit
runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
and the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
they conquered death to bring me victory

Now I know, my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
let all creation testify
LEt this life within me cry
I-I-I know
My Redeemer

He lives
to take away my shame
and He lives
forever I'll proclaim
that the payment for my sin
was the precious life He gave
and now He's alive and
there's an empty
grave!

And I know
my Redeemer lives
He lives
I know
my Redeemer lives
let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I-I-I know my Redeemer

I know
my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives

* I know, That I know, that I know, that i know, that I know
He lives
*Because He lives I can face tommorow
He lives
*I know, I know*
He lives
*I spoke with Him this morning!*
He lives
*The tomb is empty
He lives
*I gotta tell everybody!!*

Well with me, I love classical music, but if your gonna rock me, you've gotta rock me hard. Unless its the Beatles. They're not real hard, there just great.

[falklands]

Good on ya heartofgold! Classical music ROCKS! excuse the pun...

[Aslan the Great Lion]

I don't know who wrote that song, but I have heard it before.

At first I thought Demon Hunter was a little too rocky, but they have parts that are not that hard, just regular rock. The lyrics like the ones I posted have a lot of meaning. It was good to read the lyrics before I got the songs, so now I at least now the idea of what they are talking about.

I think Hawk Nelson is okay. I like Letters to the President and Things We Go Through. I think they are coming out with a new CD sometime this year.

if your talking about the song GDL posted, Nicole C. Mullen sings it. Don't know if she wrote it though

[falklands]

Ain't Nicole C. Mullen a soul singer?

I don't know. I know she sings that song though.

[New Titania (TD)]

I heard her sing that song in concert. She's not quite my type, though. Third Day is still my total favorite.

[Aslan the Great Lion]

I have not really listened to Third Day that much. Are they rock and if so are they harder rock or soft rock.

[falklands]

Harder than soft, but not metal...that's all I can say.

[GDL]

WHO LIKES MUSIC?

[falklands]

I both like music and love music.

[Aslan the Great Lion]

Music is my life. lol I do all my homework with music, but not studying. I heard that Hawk Nelson has a new CD called "Smile, It is the End of the World." I also heard it will be more rocky, which IMO is good.
